Stoneware Matte
Choose from solid shades to those that create interesting color variation as they move and break. Our Stoneware Matte glazes provide a variety of colors and performance characteristics. Some matte glazes have opaque solid coverage and others are semi-transparent and variegated. Application thickness is key to making Stoneware Matte glazes work for you. Mattes work well on a variety of clay bodies and have a firing range from cone 5-10.

Cone 6: Alabaster is a semi-opaque white soft matte glaze that breaks over texture.
Cone 10: Color darkens to variegated light gray/purple.
TIP: When using this glaze, you will be able to pick up the characteristics of the clay body due to it’s white semi opaque finish. Combos really well with 2 coats of stroke and coat on top. It has a satin finish. If you like combos with Sea Salt, you will get similar results with Alabaster minus the crystals.

Cone 6: Wrought Iron creates an intermittent, dappled black gloss-matte finish that is reminiscent of high fire oil-spot glazes. Typically, oil-spot glazes are thickly applied and require some reduction during the firing to achieve the oil-matte effects; Wrought Iron does the job with just two coats in a cone 6 oxidation firing.
Cone 10: Color changes to a dark metallic gray.
TIP: The thinner the application the more brown the glaze. The thicker the application the more black the glaze. This glaze is not completely matte, but will have a matte finish with variation of gloss. Due to the high manganese content, there is a chance of bubbling on a speckled clay body.

Cone 6: Wintergreen is a light-green, semi-opaque satin matte glaze at cone 6. Lighter coatings will allow body characteristics to appear through the glaze (especially on dark and speckled clay bodies). Use three coats to achieve the deepest opacity.
Cone 10: Changes to a transparent pale green gloss with matte crystal growth.
TIP: This is a true matte glaze at cone 5, becomes satin at cone 6.
Transform your ceramic creations with a touch of soothing elegance that enhances the beauty of every piece. Achieve professional-looking results with ease and reliability every time you glaze.

Cone 6 oxidation (larger image): Storm Gray is designed to produce a medium gray to white variegation depending on application. One coat will produce a medium gray matte finish with little white variegation. Subsequent coats build a white variegation, muting the medium gray.
Cone 10 reduction (smaller image): Off-white variation darkens. Gray variation turns blue.
TIP: Thinned coats produce a medium gray satin finish. Thick applications will increase white variegation. Brush stroke application is visible in finished results. We recommend applying coats on bisque in different directions (crosshatch). Although finish appears opaque, surface decoration can be easily seen through glaze.

Cone 6: Weathered Blue is designed to produce a blue to white variegation depending on the application. One coat will produce a sky-blue matte finish with little white variegation. Subsequent coats build a white variegation, muting the sky blue.
Cone 10: Off-white variation darkens.
TIP: Thinned coats produce a sky blue satin finish. Thick applications will increase white variegation. The brushstroke application is visible in the finished results. We recommend applying coats on bisque in different directions (crosshatch). Although the finish appears opaque, surface decoration can be easily seen through the glaze.
